This post is for all those who feel that they are a victim of black magic.

This post is for all those who feel that they are a victim of black magic. I am sharing this post simply with the purpose of helping those who have doubts and fears about black magic.

Some people definitely do black magic. If positive uses are there, negative uses are also there. You can make anything, a god or a devil out of the energies. Black magic are the Mantras or Rituals specially done to harm a person and evil is considered as a soul which harms every one. But most of the time these fears are psychological. Your own mind drives you crazy, little bit of its effect may be there though. Once you let this fear control you that someone has done black magic over you, you will go crazy. It's all psychological. You will become ill, everything negative will happen to you because a certain fear grips you. No black magic has been done though. Just certain symbols which indicate that there seems to be some kind of black magic, and it will destroy your peace of mind. So most of the time, it is your inner mind telling you negative things. Even if black magic is done to you, only ten percent may be the real thing. The rest of it is you destroying yourself. You need to control your own thoughts.

But you can also be sure of one thing ; if you are doing spiritual sadhana, you need not bother about all these things. If you are worshipping Shiva and performing Abhishek on ShivaLingam regularly, you should be confident that Shiva is protecting you always. Chanting of Maha mrityunjaya mantra is very powerful tool to fight all evil. One should wear a rudraksh bead or mala, which is a protection against any kind of negativity. Wearing a Rudraksha is like wearing a shield or kavach to protect ourselves from any kind of negativity. 10 mukhi Rudraksh represents the power of Goddess Durga and is one of the most important Rudraksh for women as nothing can destroy the shield of Goddess Durga and its wearer is protected from anything and everything. This Rudraksh is also helpful in fighting Black Magic and Evil Eye. 11 mukhi Rudraksh is represented by Lord Hanuman who is the Lord of courage and bravery. One who wears this Rudraksh gets protected from any sort of Black magic and Evil Sprit.

One should recite or read Hanuman Chalisa daily. Apart from this you can do Bajrang Baan which is chanted specially for fighting negative elements. There are many other Kavach (armor) like Durga Kavach, Chandi mantras, Kali raksha kavach etc. especially for fighting this sort of evils. The more you pray and meditate the more your positive energy develops.

And remember God is watching, Nothing goes unnoticed. Any person who uses black magic to harm others has to suffer its consequences, Karma doesn't spare anyone. Sooner or later, he will be punished. what goes around definitely comes around!

Much Love and many blessings to all ~ Hari Om Tat Sat ~ Jai Shri Mahakal!

The first time Shiva went into a cosmic trance, He was thrilled to bits. And He realised that’s where His story began: in a cosmic trance.

HE LOVED MOUNTAINS

The first time Shiva went into a cosmic trance, He was thrilled to bits. And He realised that’s where His story began:
in a cosmic trance.
He loved mountains. He loved to dance. He loved to wear His hair long. He was a simple hillbilly: good at heart, and He loved his fellow mountain men. But He was not considered in turn, a fellow man.
It was said of Him that He was God Himself—The Primal One.
He was said to be the Timeless Lord of the mountains and also the men He so loved.
He was Shiva, the Auspicious. Shiva, whose very presence was able to transform humans into demigods.
So many times on His mountain sojourns, He had chanced upon a singing shepherd, or a wandering minstrel, singing of Shiva!
Sometimes, as a bonus, even lovelorn women sang His praises, when they actually pined for another suitor; and He was amused by the stories He heard about Himself.
There were all sorts of things talked about Him, and He generally liked most of it, just because of the possibility it offered.

Video wherein Muslims can be seen maintaining the 400-year-old temple in the Rajouri district. The beautiful paintings inside the temple narrate the story of its glorious past.

Recently, we all have been through really tough time wherein there were chances of communal riots owing to desecration of temples but people of the city acted judiciously and did not allow the radical elements to get successful in their mission. Amidst such chaos, still there are hundreds of examples which proves that brotherhood do exist in the society. One such example is evident in the video wherein Muslims can be seen maintaining the 400-year-old temple in the Rajouri district. The beautiful paintings inside the temple narrate the story of its glorious past. Localities claim that they have received threats and have been warned in the name of religion from various terrorist outfits time and again but they never gave power to their fears rather saved the temple from any kind of damage and hence feel proud to have given priority to humanity over religion.

Shiva says stay away from ego.

Shiva says stay away from ego. Which means let go your ego/pride respectively. Every human being lives in his own world and everything should go the way he thinks is the best. We do not really listen to others, because when they talk, we already have our own story standby and we can hardly wait to tell it. The reason is that we want to force our point of view on others. The word "I", no more than a single letter, which sums up your ego. This letter dominates your life completely. "I want to be in the picture", "Look what I did" or "I'm the greatest". This "I world" emerged when people started to manipulate and dominate. It is fighting to gain control over others. Whatever your ego is telling you to do, is negative. What your heart and soul are telling you, comes from understanding and is therefore positive energy. That will always be the best you can get. No fame, no materialism and no power, but a true life full of positivism and positive people around you. It will give you a true and everlasting happiness.
Let’s chant OM namah shivaaya and forget ego because it leads nowhere.

Shiva is Shakti

ENDLESS FACES OF SHIVA

“One thing that stood out clearly in the descriptions, was that there was much paradox about Him. The moment anyone thought they understood one aspect of Him, immediately another would come and juxtapose itself in contrast. And that was the way He was known by most people: As the greatest enigma in the pantheon of the hindu Gods,” continued Suta.
“Truly Gurudeva, Shiva is a great enigma,” said Shaunaka.
“Yes,” Suta continued, “No one was ever sure of His antiquity, or His antecedents; none knew who His parents were, or if He was actually a sibling to the Vedic Gods. Some said He was Brahma’s son, others asserted He was Swayambhu, the Self-created, who, after manifesting Himself, in fact, created Brahma also.”
“So what is the truth, Gurudeva? Who created who?”
“No one could know for sure,” said Suta. “Every search for Him spiraled into a concentricity of a higher realm. Even after hearing about Him endlessly, one would come back to the same mystery.”

In organ transplantation, besides tissue compatibility, spiritual compatibility could also make a difference,

What are the medical and ethical aspects of organ donation and transplantation?

The main thing is that of the compatibility of donor-receiver tissues because organs have specific proteins and antigens that are different in different people. They evoke an immune response in the recipient which may reject the transplanted organ. More and more transplants are being done after the tissues are matched. After a certain period of immuno-suppression, the organ is able to survive in the recipient.

As for ethics, if a person can do something to prolong the life of a fellow being it is an act of compassion and so is an ethically sound practice. Besides tissue compatibility, there is spiritual compatibility, too.

Spiritual evolution of an individual implies his rising to a higher level of consciousness — both mind and body are involved but it’s something modern medicine does not usually understand or accept. But, from a spiritual perspective, this is not difficult to comprehend because all parts of the being are manifestations of the Divine and they have consciousness. When an individual is evolving, all parts of his being are evolving and changing in consciousness. The reason why it appears to be confined to the mind is because organs like the heart, liver or kidney do not have a complex mechanism like the brain to manifest that consciousness. It means that when a person is evolving in consciousness, his cellular consciousness is also changing.

How crucial is spiritual compatibility to the recipient’s body accepting the transplanted organ? Ordinarily, it does not matter so much, since most of us are more or less at the same level of spiritual evolution. But if the donor happens to be at a much lower level of consciousness than the recipient, it can create problems because in that case the consciousness of the recipient can be ‘contaminated’ by a lower consciousness. There is a documented case of a heart recipient who would have nightmares. Later, it was found that the donor was a criminal who was executed for murder. It has also been found that in some cases, the recipient seemed to have acquired some of the habits, tastes and preferences of the donor. Clearly, consciousness affects all organs and in the case of organ transplant, it affects the recipient at the level of consciousness.

A Possible Roadmap For Happiness

Each of us wants some peace and happiness in life. Still, happiness often evades us. “Is there a simple, straightforward roadmap to get happiness and peace in life,” I asked Swami Paramarthanandji in Chennai. He replied, ‘Reducing PORT is the best way’. PORT stands for Possessions, Obligatory Duties, Relationships and Transactions. How to reduce these?

Happiness is a state of mind; it does not come from possessions alone. There are severe limitations of happiness sought in objects. First, deep effort and some pain are involved in acquiring objects. Many waste their entire life in pursuit of desirable objects. There is no guarantee that even after getting those objects or positions, you would be happy. You may feel ‘let-down’ after spending so much of effort. You may think, ‘this is not what I laboured for’. Also, objects of desire keep changing, and so also our goal posts. The chase continues and every new possession brings with it own burden. If someone has a house with swimming pool and ten bed rooms; imagine his plight in maintaining it. He is busy all the time cleaning, fixing, protecting. Does the house serve us, or do we serve the house? Again, objects make us dependent on them. For instance, once we are used to a particular standard of living, it is inconvenient not to have certain objects such as air conditioners in our life. Hence objects usually create bondage.

Relationships are meant to make our life happy. But do they? We have to maintain some blood relations for social cohesion, but we create other new relationships, which complicates life. Every new relationship has to be maintained. You have to remember to wish people on their birthdays and anniversaries, participate in functions like marriage and engagement, or reach out in case of sickness or loss. Also you experience sadness or pain when the person with whom you have a relationship does not reciprocate. It is said that grief is never caused by outsiders or unknown people. It is caused by people with whom you have a relationship. Depending on your attitude, your relationships might cause you more pain than pleasure.

Every possession and every new relationship creates its own obligatory duties. You have to insure your vehicles, for example, remember to send it for regular service. Similarly we have to attend to the expectations of relationships. These add to our list of obligatory duties. We cannot avoid basic, minimum obligatory duties towards the office, business, parents, spouse or children. But our optional duties also become obligatory when you maintain too many possessions and relationships. We should also be careful in accepting new roles in life just for the sake of ego-satisfaction. If you are made President or Secretary of a Society, you may feel good, but that adds to your obligatory duties also. Performance of each of these duties becomes a transaction. This way we try to cope with large number of transactions in our life, and get exhausted at the end of the day. Where is the time to be happy?

This is not to say that you should have no objects or relationships in your life. However, the idea is to be aware of their limitations and try to strike a balance. The mind will be peaceful only if you are able to discriminate between what is necessary and what is unnecessary in your life.

Reducing Possessions, Relationships, Obligatory Duties and Transactions (PORT) is a practical way to look at life and happiness. That is the PORT of call for happiness.

The Avadhoota Gita-17

19. The external existence is the universe, the inner existence is called prakrti. One should try to know That which is more interior than the inner existence, That which is like water within the kernel of the coconut.

Prakrti-in its subtle aspects: cosmic intelligence, cosmic mind, etc.

20. Illusory knowledge relates to what is outside, correct knowledge to what is inside. Try to know That which is more interior than the inside, That which is like water within the kernel of the coconut.

21. There is only one very clear moon on the full moon night. One should perceive That (the Self) like the moon seeing duality is perversion.

22. It is indeed in this way that intelligence becomes divided and ceases to be all-comprehending. A giver attains to wisdom and is sung with millions of names.

This, etc.-by seeing duality (also, of course, plurality).

Divided-perceiving many objects separated from one another, as in ordinary experience. Intelligence should, if it is not clouded with ignorance, perceive only unity-the whole of Reality-at once.

Such perception, according to Vedanta, is the only true perception of Reality. Giver-maker of charity.

The second part of this verse, and, as a matter of fact, the whole verse, is a little obscure. Our translation of the second part is literal.

The probable meaning is: When a person gives away all attachment thereby attaining perfect renunciation, being free of all grasping he attains the knowledge of the Self. The Sanskrit data for the word "giver" also means teacher.

23. Whoever, whether he be ignorant or learned, attains to the full awareness of Truth through the grace of a teacher's wisdom, becomes detached from the ocean of worldliness.

Ignorant-devoid of scholarship. (learned in the scriptures)

24. He who is free from attachment and hatred, devoted to the good of all beings, fixed in knowledge and steady shall attain to the supreme state.

25. As the space within a pot dissolves in the universal space when the pot is broken, so a yogi, in the absence of the body, dissolves into the supreme Self, which is his true being.

26. It has been said that the destiny of those devoted to action is the same as their thought at the end, but it has not been said that the destiny of those established in yoga is the same as their thought at the end.

End-the dying moment.

The belief in India, clearly expressed in the Bagavad Gita, is that the last thought in the mind of the dying person indicates the nature of his future existence. This is not true, however, of one who has attained to the knowledge of the Self.

Shiva or Maheshwara, the Divine Lord

Shiva or Maheshwara, the Divine Lord and in him are concentrated the three energies of understanding (Gyana), the will (Ichha) and action (Kriya) - thus forming the fountainhead of all knowledge. The nature of Shiva as representing the entire cosmos has led to his having 1008 names in the various Hindu scriptures extending the Vedic concept of multiple forms of a single divine power. The Vedas do not mention Shiva as the name of the god in question - instead he is named Rudra - the lord of songs, sacrifices, nourishment, the healer of diseases and the provider of property.

He is usually depicted as sitting in meditation in Padmasana. This is in consonance of his status of an ascetic yogi. He is shown wearing a tiger skin around his waist. Shiva is usually unclad in his upper half, indicating the transcendental nature of his divinity. His body is smeared with ashes indicating the presence of the physical universe but only on the foundation of the transcendental divinity of Shiva. Shiva encompasses and transcends all physical phenomena and remains unaffected by them.

Beads of Rudraksha on Shiva are said to be the solid form of the tears that Shiva sheds at the woes of his devotees. Rudra means fiercely strict. Aksha means eye, which signifies that Shiva constantly monitors all creation to ensure that all follow the divine laws laid down by him. The necklace of Rudraksha has 108 beads symbolising the elements used for creating the cosmos.

The snakes symbolically represents his control over desire and sensuality. The tiger skin symbolically signifies his ability to control and transform animal nature. The trident represents the three qualities, namely sattva, rajas and tamas. The damru denotes his connection with the primal sound AUM, the creation of alphabets, languages, grammar and music. And His long matted hair denotes his spiritual life and his great powers.!!!! Bum Bum Bholenath!!!

Our purpose in life is to be happy.

Our purpose in life is to be happy. Once we choose to be happy, our whole life changes. Transform your life with the power of staying happy n thinking positive. ✨💥🌟 Namaste Lovely People. It's time for Wednesday Wisdom. 📿🕉📿 Every morning, we either choose to wake up grumpy or wake up with a positive outlook. Resolve today to develop a positive attitude toward yourself, the people around you and your life. Resolve and decide to be happy. Resolve from now to see your glass of life as half full rather than half empty. Happy people give thanks for the many blessings in life rather than worrying about the things they do not have. With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy feelings. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energy, and happiness. Our whole being broadcasts good will, happiness and success. Even our health is affected in a beneficial way. We walk tall, our voice is more powerful, and our body language shows the way we feel. Remember, Positive and negative thinking are contagious. We affect, and are affected by the people we meet, in one way or another. This happens instinctively and on a subconscious level, through words, thoughts and feelings, and through body language. Is it any wonder that we want to be around positive people, and prefer to avoid negative ones? People are more disposed to help us, if we are positive, and they dislike and avoid anyone broadcasting negativity. Assume the best of intentions on the part of every person around you. When you look for something good in their words and actions, you will almost always find something. Resolve today to be an optimist. Optimists seek the valuable lesson in every setback or reversal. Rather than getting upset and blaming someone else for what has happened, they take control over their emotions by saying, “What can I learn from this experience?” Looking on the bright side is most important when things go wrong. It is easy to to be cheerful when everything is going according to plan. But, it is when you encounter unexpected setbacks and difficulties that you demonstrate to yourself, and the world around you, what kind of an attitude you really have.! Love, Light & Peace ~ Hari Om Tat Sat ~ Boom Shankar! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
